    Wrong. You don't even quote the guy right in his wrong conclusion. And you are calling us the kooks.

    The odd thing is, the article actually refers to the data in the second image ("drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia"). Simply by the fact that 1998 was the warmest year on record he draws his little conclusion.

    That assuming that "these same scientist's findings are being dismissed by others because their funding is cooperate", and not because they contain similar logic to your's.

    In case you missed it, the point wasn't that his science is wrong because he gets money from the oil industry, it's that his claim that he can't do science because he can't get funding is wrong.

    Thanks for showing that the Global Warming deniers can't count (or can't read).

    Spindler shipped a LOT of product, and under him, the confusing gobbledygook of naming conventions like "Performa 6225" was born. Now, if you can tell me the difference between Performa 6220 and a 6225 off the top of your head...imagine what it was like in support when Apple had 40-some odd machines based on four logic boards and varying form factors, markets...

    Come on, off the top of your head, tell me the differences between the 1999 iMac DV and iMac SE (apart from color), and those from 2000. How about the difference between the iBook and the iBook?

    Well, actually that isn't Evolution, but selective breeding. Simply because Evolution isn't goal-driven - which is exactly why it can come up with stuff we can't even dream of until we find them. But even selective breeding shows that "the Creation" isn't static.

    There is nothing that can be ignored on the page you linked to. You're just blowing smoke. Which adds to global dimming and thus prevents global warming, so this is good.

    Ahh, yes. 1975. I'll see your Newsweek article and raise you two independent groups of scientists.
    It scarcely mattered what the Milankovitch orbital changes might do, wrote Murray Mitchell in 1972, since "man's intervention... would if anything tend to prolong the present interglacial." Human industry would prevent an advance of the ice by blanketing the Earth with CO2. A panel of top experts convened by the National Academy of Sciences in 1975 tentatively agreed with Mitchell. True, in recent years the temperature had been dropping (perhaps as part of some unknown "longer-period climatic oscillation"). Nevertheless, they thought CO2 "could conceivably" bring half a degree of warming by the end of the century.(27) The outspoken geochemist and oceanographer Wallace Broecker went farther. He suspected that there was indeed a natural cycle responsible for the cooling in recent decades, perhaps originating in cyclical changes on the Sun. If so, it was only temporarily canceling the greenhouse warming. Within a few decades that would climb past any natural cycle. "Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?" he asked.(28*)

    Meanwhile in 1975, two New Zealand scientists reported that while the Northern Hemisphere had been cooling over the past thirty years, their own region, and probably other parts of the Southern Hemisphere, had been warming.(29) There were too few weather stations in the vast unvisited southern oceans to be certain, but other studies tended to confirm it. The cooling since around 1940 had been observed mainly in northern latitudes. Perhaps cooling from industrial haze counteracted the greenhouse warming there? After all, the Northern Hemisphere was home to most of the world's industry. It was also home to most of the world's population, and as usual, people had been most impressed by the weather where they lived.(30*)

    Ohh yeah, that "cooling trend" that only affected the Northern Hemisphere.

    You sound rather narrow-eyed and guilty. Even if you have a twelth month guarentee by law, you do not have the right to get a new machine on the spot, let alone does anybody have to copy your data over to the new machine.
